Last Ditch

Thanks Steve.
The cooler weather seemed to improve the mojo today, and managed a couple of figures. Really quite pleased with these two, especially the ammo carrier. Used a magnifier for the first time, so maybe that was the difference.
Also in something quite different, did a couple of figures for the train Dad is building. White metal in about 1/48, and also quite pleased in how they cam out.

You're right to be pleased Jack. These are all excellent.
Good job Jack.
Thanks all
Nearly there with this one...a couple more figures to finish off, and a few details to tweak and add to the scenery, and I'll call it a day.
Calling it done:
In a "Last Ditch" attempt to repel attackers, a mixed unit machine gun squad deploy to final positions, after hastily planning in the relative safety of a long abandoned 88 position. With enemy infantry and armour approaching, three men give cover while the rest take it in turns to dart out from the rubble.
Really hope you like it...I enjoyed making it, might limit the amount of figures I have to paint in future though. Special thanks to Ron, Simon T and Peter Day, for their tips and knowledge along the way....really did help, and everyone else who offered encouragement. Lots more tweaks I should probably make...but I needed this one finished. For a first dio attempt, and a lot of lessons learned, I am happy with it.
Thanks again.

Marvellous work Jack. Hard to believe it's your first with such high quality work. More!
Thank you both...with advice from the aforementioned, and various 'how to guides' elsewhere on the forum...it's actually hard to go wrong!
Terrific build Jack.
No matter how much advise and 'How to's', you have read, you obviously have the talent to transform info. into what we see here.
A most excellent diorama.

Jack,
Very nicely done Sir, that is a cracking scene all round.
